A detail from our Paschal table last night

There’s usually some mention of Orthodox Easter on Ricochet, but this year I didn’t find one, or maybe missed it. So let me say it this year, in case it hasn’t been said yet.

To those who celebrated Sunday; to every believing Christian: Christ is Risen!

    This was my first Easter as an Orthodox Christian and enjoyed an amazing midnight service Saturday/Sunday. To everyone at Ricochet…

    Christ is risen!

    Christos anesti! (Greek)

    Khristos voskrese! (Russian)

    Kristus nousi kuolleista! (Finnish)

    I’m stunned. I mean, really floored. Why? Because I’d read enough of your writing, heard you on so many podcast episodes. I would never have guessed you to have any inclination to the Orthodox Church (absolutely NO judgment in that statement). So much for my intuitive skills.

    I missed your series on your conversion, as I took a big break from Ricochet for the past year—for pretty much the same reason @ garymcvey points out above, mentioning @ skipsul. So, I pop back into the site to give a little greeting, and I get popped in the face with the news of you attending the Resurrection Service. I’m glad you enjoyed it—it is the absolute acme of the year.

    For what it’s worth, I think this is marvellous news.

    I read all the Jon Gabriel installments of his conversion journey and they are all excellent. So beautiful.

    I’m definitely going to read them.

    To you all in the Orthodox world, here is a somewhat long but stunning Moynihan Newsletter that is really ‘startling’ in its content – especially the comment by the Monk and the conditions in Ukraine etc. (I wonder if this is why they raided Guiliani’s stuff?!):
